Restores voting rights for individuals convicted of infamous crimes upon completion of their sentence.
This bill amends Tennessee law to restore voting rights for individuals convicted of infamous crimes once their sentence is completed. It specifies that such individuals are ineligible to vote only while they are imprisoned, on parole, or on probation for the conviction. The bill also allows individuals convicted in other states or federal court of crimes considered infamous in Tennessee to regain voting rights if they receive a pardon, have their citizenship rights restored, or complete their sentence. The bill takes effect immediately upon becoming law.
